Photographer Richard Mosse’s Infra series captures the ongoing, violent struggle between rebel factions and the Congolese national army in the Democratic Republic of Congo, through images of both the people and places where this tragic war is occurring. The surreal palette of Beast of Burden is the result of Mosse’s use of the discontinued Kodak film, Aerochrome. Developed for military surveillance during the Cold War to detect enemy camouflage, the film registers chlorophyll in live vegetation, rendering the invisible spectrum of infrared light, and tingeing portraits and landscapes with psychedelic hues of pink, red, and lilac. “It made sense to me metaphorically. This war is a hidden tragedy, and in that sense it’s invisible,” Mosse explains. “Making the conflict visible for ordinary people to see is at the heart of this project.” ⁠ ⁠ Pictured: Richard Mosse ,Beast of Burden, 2015, Digital chromogenic print ⁠ ⁠ ©Richard Mosse.
